DS 10mo never a good sleeper (hence name) however we had started to make progress with a quick 12pm bottle then through to 7-8am, we even got a few nights 7-4,430-7, and one random through the night 12 hour dream....
But those are dim and distant past and we now might get 1 or 1.5 hr stretches
I think it's teething & have tried all the remedies but to no avail
He is marginally better and certainly more settled in with us but then I don't sleep as I worry about squashing him
I'm back at work and knackered and just after some advice be that yes it will improve or no this isn't normal and see dr/hv
Thanks

I don't think you need to see dr/hv but the NW's do sound a wee bit excessive to me. 10/11 months is a typical age for sleep to go a bit wonky as their DT sleep needs start to reduce & they head towards 1 nap (though this may not happen til 12-18months). However it may also be related to any sleep associations that he may have developed.

Can I ask a few Q's:

Do you cosleep all the time or does he ever sleep in his cot?

Does LO settle to sleep independently or does he need your help i.e. cuddling/feeding/rocking to sleep before you lay him down?
What does his daytime routine look like i.e. wakeup time, nap times/durations, bedtime?
Does he feed at all during the night?
How do you settle him when he wakes during the night?

He usually has own cot/ room quite happily & until this bout CIA sleeping had no improvement which made me hunk it was a security thing too
Naps- he's at nursery ft and will happily do 1 hr am and 40mins pm for them but t
